Crianças
As crianças ocupam lugar especial no coração de Deus. A Bíblia instrui a educá-las, protegê-las e ensiná-las nos caminhos do Senhor desde cedo — formando gerações que temem a Deus.
Herança do Senhor
Os filhos são herança do Senhor. Eles são presentes de Deus — cada criança é um milagre e uma responsabilidade sagrada.
Instruir as crianças
Instrui a criança no caminho em que deve andar. A educação cristã é mandamento repetido através de toda a Escritura.
1 And I, Abraham, had the Urim and Thummim, which the Lord my God had given unto me, in Ur of the Chaldees;2 And I saw the stars, that they were very great, and that one of them was nearest unto the throne of God; and there were many great ones which were near unto it;
1 And I, Abraham, had the Urim and Thummim, which the Lord my God had given unto me, in Ur of the Chaldees;
12 And he said unto me: My son, my son (and his hand was stretched out), behold I will show you all these. And he put his hand upon mine eyes, and I saw those things which his hands had made, which were many; and they multiplied before mine eyes, and I could not see the end thereof.
4 And they (the Gods) comprehended the light, for it was bright; and they divided the light, or caused it to be divided, from the darkness.5 And the Gods called the light Day, and the darkness they called Night. And it came to pass that from the evening until morning they called night; and from the morning until the evening they called day; and this was the first, or the beginning, of that which they called day and night.
Disciplinar com amor
A vara e a repreensão dão sabedoria. A disciplina produz o fruto pacífico da justiça nos que são exercitados por ela.
8 Now, at this time it was the custom of the priest of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, to offer up upon the altar which was built in the land of Chaldea, for the offering unto these strange gods, men, women, and children.9 And it came to pass that the priest made an offering unto the god of Pharaoh, and also unto the god of Shagreel, even after the manner of the Egyptians. Now the god of Shagreel was the sun.
Obediência e promessa
Filhos, obedecei a vossos pais no Senhor. Honra a teu pai e tua mãe para que viva muito tempo sobre a terra.
Crianças e o reino
Deixai vir a mim as crianças. Jesus honrou as crianças como modelo de fé e humildade para todo o seu povo.
Identidade e crescimento
Somos filhos de Deus pelo Espírito de adoção. Crescer em Cristo é amadurecer em fé, obediência e amor ao próximo.
Transmitir a fé
Contaremos à geração vindoura os louvores do Senhor. O legado de fé é o maior presente que damos aos nossos filhos.
1 AND it came to pass that the Nephites who were not slain by the weapons of war, after having buried those who had been slain-now the number of the slain were not numbered, because of the greatness of their number-after they had finished burying their dead they all returned to their lands, and to their houses, and their wives, and their children.
